Most Rev Alfred Adewale has dropped the bombshell on the killing of Christians in Nigeria calling attention to the killings of Christians in Southern Kaduna, Kaduna, north-central Nigeria.
The cleric said the killings targeting Christians is none other than to depopulate the Christian population and in the end drive Christianity into extinction.
He stated this in an interview with Saturday Sun and warned that the attack is a warning sign to ending the influence of the Christian race.
Below is an abridged version of the chat with Saturday Sun.
Excerpt:
His Grace, what is your take on the southern Kaduna killings?
The killing is unexplainable. Honestly, the violence in Southern Kaduna is definitely an indication of the kind of fears and concerns of the security of this country, particularly concerning the security of Christians in their own country. Well, we tend to believe that there are some people who are trying to cut down on the influence of Christianity and one may not be a prophet but that leaves one with a very bad impression of our leaders particularly, if the government that has the responsibility of securing people is not doing as much as expected. I will like to use the opportunity to call on government at all levels to take control of the situation, as the peddlers of the violence there go into the villages and kill defenseless citizens and then run away. They are not in the city; they are out there in the farms making lives miserable for them. These things create a lot of concerns and need to be addressed.

Some people have said that these helpless citizens should defend themselves and the authority has frowned on it?
The fact of the matter is that it is a principle of life that everyone has a right to defend himself or herself. It is a principle that life is sacred and everyone is entitled to protect his own life. Despite the fact that we have been telling our people that they must not be aggressive but certainly if anybody’s life is under threat, not only Christians, everyone at all who feels his life is under threat has a right to defend himself and ensure that he preserves his life but more than any other thing, it is the responsibility of government to preserve the life of its citizens and if they are not doing it, the international community may put pressure on government and security agencies to ensure that the lives and property of the people are protected.
